Proper format of thermal BC for z88setsactive.txt

Beitrag von mturcios »

I am writing a script to take a set of temperature measurements in (x,y,z) and map them to the z88sets.txt and z88setsactive.txt files. z88sets.txt is easy with just the node positions and set names. z88setsactive is a little more difficult. From a case I created using Z88AuroraV2b:

Code: Alles auswählen

#NODES CONSTRAINT 1 3 4 66 123456 8 4.615000E+001 "lowT"
NODES and CONSTRAINT make sense, as does the first 1 which is the degree of freedom. The 3 I don't know what it means. 66 is steady state thermo, and 123456 8 are always there for 3D simulations. 4.615E1 is the temperature and "lowT" is the name of the constraint. Can someone help me find what the other numbers mean? I was looking in the theory manuals and couldn't find anything.

Thanks!

Hello mturcios,

The file z88setsactive.txt is not documented. But the numbers mean the following:
1: If the boundary condition is active (1) or not (0).
3: the ID of the constraint must be unique.
4: The ID of the set to which the constraint applies.
66: The simulation case (here Thermo).
123456: The coordinate direction. (X = 1, y = 2, ...)
8: Temperature

best regards
